I don't think this is the Zune phone. It's more like the Windows Phone equivalent of the Motorola BackFlip: not quite a smart phone, but higher on the foodchain that a text+call only phone. It's designed for social stuff[1], and just social stuff (no third-party apps, no flash, no silverlight). Not surprising when you consider that it was designed by the folks who made the SideKick, I guess. Apparently some people want a phone that isn't a computer, but is really just a social networking assistant. Wouldn't do it for me, but it seems like it's a niche that companies are interested in competing over. [1]: Where "social stuff" also means Facebook, Twitter, and email, instead of just text and calling.
